About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a short, kid-friendly animated adventure with slapstick humor and Romans getting repeatedly outsmarted; Not for you if you need polished animation or sharper satire like Lucky Luke.
Pros: faithful comic adaptation; plenty of silly laughs; catchy theme music | Cons: stiff recycled animation; uneven English dubbing; simple stretched story
